Abstract
-High Performance Interceptor -Beginning in FY 2012, this work transfers to the SM-3 Block IIB Program Element -Enhanced Command, Control, Battle Management and Communication -Develop airborne and space sensor tasking, cueing and data management capability in a net-centric modular architecture to handle larger raids -Develop interfaces and conduct experiments to integrate the Airborne Infrared and the Precision Tracking Space System into the BMDS -Develop and deliver to C2BMC advanced track algorithms and the capability to cue and reverse-cue satellite, airborne and terrestrial sensors via the Enterprise Sensors Laboratory -Advanced Research -Develop designs for assessing integrated hardware and software performance in representative BMDS threat scenarios -Develop new early intercept capabilities by leveraging industry and universities research -Develop large Focal Plane Arrays with signal-to-noise ten times higher than current Mercury Cadmium Telluride Focal Plane Arrays, and improve fabrication yield rates to greater than 40 percent -Small Business Innovation Research Program Support -Develop synergistic structures with multiple functions (e.g. fuel tanks or batteries that function as a load-bearing kill vehicle structure and/or protect against hostile environment) or structures/materials with embedded components (e.g. electrical, optical, power, cabling, propulsion, sub-structures, isolation, etc) for a next generation interceptor kill vehicle -Create a sensor with sufficient field of regard, resolution and speed to support jitter suppression and image stabilization capable of sustained 10 kilohertz operations to support high speed control loops and sensitivity in the 800-1100 nanometer wavelength band
